CWarren uses a brazier all the time. On instagram he's cwarrencollins. I pm'd him a few days ago about it also. I only light my charcoal outdoors so I’m no authority on indoor use. My plan was to place an indoor hood in my tea room at some point for proper ventilation but given the time it takes to...

agreed. also, neat Sloppy Jimbo collage, CW. interesting

Thank you.

2006 Yong De Hand Braided Wild Arbor Pu Erh Tea from Norbu Tea: I bought this quite a while back, a beautiful braided beeng, and the good news is that 7 years later it is very tasty, sweet, herbaceous, lightly earthy. I am sharing today with a new colleague at work who is just exploring tea because...

2017 Sloppy Jimbo from white2tea. I recently bought in a case of Boston Brown Bread, a hometown favorite composed of wheat flour, rye, corn meal, molasses, brown sugar and other delicious ingredients and all I could think while drinking this is how very suited it would be to this tea since the notes...

2017 Boat Captain from white2tea. Aside from some slight youthful bitterness this comes across older than it is in both taste and color. Absolutely loving the rich malt hue and the notes are very interesting. Heavy scented rose which I found surprising but amazing and white sugar mixed with what I c...

My go to tea retailer!

What he said!

... notes: hard to pry as any tuo, leaves looking good not as chopped as most of XG tuos. There was a huge wig inside. ... Sounds like a pretty inwigorating (sic) tea. Haha, sorry must be hair in my eye, corrected A twig makes much more sense. I was imagining an earwig or a very tiny toupee. “inwig...

2006 Ye Chawang Sheng Pu’er Cha from Yangqing Hao via Liquid Proust Teas. Figs, black pepper, leather and even surprising notes that I can only compare to friendship cake. Creamy mouthfeel and a nice mellow qi. Really enjoyable late night session.

Every so often you have to forget you’ve become somewhat of a tea snob and go back to your cheap tea bag roots...

Large English Breakfast Tea, cream and one sugar care of Tim Hortons.

CWarren, killing me with your tasting photo-log comps. Super smooth, really enjoying them. As I review tasting notes from our latest LA Club Puerh tasting I’ve been savoring two selections from Tony’s now sadly closed Origin Tea: 1995 Mengku Ye-Sheng-Da-Ye, Raw Puerh; Slightly tea drunk, in a pleas...

Though I still prefer the stuffed citrus more, this was still an awesome tea session with a beautiful mix of sweet and citrus with dark brown sugar toffee notes and medicinal goodness. Thick like molasses just like I love my shu. 2017 Little O from white2tea. 5DA98B10-86F2-4DF9-844E-C31BD929AE09.jpeg

Super sweet, syrupy thick and delicious with a little smoke that makes this an amazing young Sheng Pu’er Cha. 2017 Little Ducks from white2tea. Wow, surprisingly dark liquer for a 2017 sheng I thought the same thing especially since each infusion wasn’t very long until the very end. Actually enjoye...

Super sweet, syrupy thick and delicious with a little smoke that makes this an amazing young Sheng Pu’er Cha. 2017 Little Ducks from white2tea.

I used to enjoy two to three tea sessions a day but now I enjoy just one. Depending on the tea around 6-12g and probably 12-20 infusions with my 1.5l tetsubin at the ready and 100ml gaiwan. I don’t force a session for the sake of having tea either. If it happens it happens but it has to come natural...

He’s definitely one of them.
